Mr. Ion was employed by Hays and worked at the company for over 6 years. During his time at the company, he established a reputation and contacts to become a competitor. A lawsuit was filed against Mr. Ion due to linking clients with Hays on a social media platform called Linkedin. Hays could have created a separate profile on the website and required employees to utilize that account for business purposes and practices. This would have mitigated clients from jumping ship to another network. They could easily change the password to the account, and this would leave Mr. Ion with no access to their clients.
